I have a scientology based drug rehab center less than a mile from my home in Watson.

That's what Remini claims she gave to the church.
I wonder what kind of book Katie Holmes could write? She'd have to wait until Tom dies, and then have a team around her to protect her from the church.
The Celebrity Center is what amazes me. How many celebs are there? Under 10? And there is a compound dedicated to them.
One guy on the show last night said Scientology was lucky if it had 40,000 members worldwide? Anybody else hear a number?

This is a decent troll, but
A lot of money and time. I dont need to pay an organization to help me explore truths and to make myself a better person. I can do that on my own.

Oh...they're lower on the list in terms of clear and present danger...but in terms of which sets off the bullshite meter more, are any of you folks ready to hear it's essentially a tie between all of them?

Prophets were people who actually existed, no? Were they prophets? Who the hell knows. I'll find out when I am dead..... Or I won't.

I am hesitant to explain my simple post that Scientology doesn’t concern me by comparison while remaining germane to the subject of the OP. I had no idea I would get 50+ downvotes and get called an idiot so it seems I need to explain myself.
A cult is a belief system considered to be unorthodox, extremist, or sinister with members often living outside of conventional society under the direction of a charismatic leader involving bizarre and even evil rituals. Some examples include:
1. Questioning or doubt about islam among muslims is discouraged and even punishable. Leaving islam is considered apostacy and punishable by death. Muslim girls are not permitted to marry non-muslim lest they be disowned by the family or worse.
2. Islam is not a religion but a complete social, political, judicial, and economic system. It dictates every aspect of life and how a person is allowed or demanded to behave.
3. Islam tolerates no other belief system; they are elitists. While people of the book (Christians and Jews) may have their lives spared if they pay a tax, they are still of the lower class humans.
The complete writing of the explanation can be found here.

The goal of almost every religion is to proselytize to all people of the world. That is the central theme of Christianity, Islam and Judaism. Scientology purposefully hides its dogma from the public at large and its own members. This is the act of an organization seeking to shield itself from tax liability, not a movement meant on spreading its most holy teachings to the public free of charge.

I don't understand how anyone would support Tom cruise or any other actor that's is or was part if that shite.
It's just insane

Every organization has secrets that it shares as it sees fit. It just so happens that the secrets Scientology has can change people's lives for the better, when they're ready to hear them.
Given how many enemies the church has, it's no wonder they would keep certain aspects private.
Also let me ask you this, how often do you consider the impacts of your childhood?

Organization? It's called the "church" of Scientology.
I think it's fair to say it practices are kept secret because they are borderline illegal. They do some mean shite to kids for syre

Let me ask you this, you keep bringing up kids and childhood. Is there something from your past that you think makes life harder for you? Something that you need help overcoming?

I made one post here? Their actions towards kids is well documented by many many former members. Not my words.
